Filter by:Low molecular weight heparin is a drug with anticoagulant and antithrombotic effects. This drug is frequently administered subcutaneously to patients by nurses. Complications such as pain, ecchymosis and hematoma may commonly occur at the injection site. This study investigated the effect of Hypericum Perforatum oil in preventing pain and ecchymosis after subcutaneous injection low molecular weight heparin. This quasi-experimental and single blinded study was conducted with 160 patients in a coronary intensive care unit. The researcher nurse applied 5-6 drops of Hypericum Perforatum oil to one arm of the patients 2 hours before the injection. The other arm of the patient was considered as the control arm. A total of 320 injections were administered. The evaluation of the injection sites was performed by two other researchers at 48th hours. The data were analyzed using Wilcoxon and McNemar test.
The research was planned to measure pain, ecchymosis, hematoma and patient satisfaction with ice massage applied to the fistula before the arteriovenous fistula procedure in hemodialysis patients. Patients who agree to participate in the study will be given ice massage before the procedure and the relevant parameters will be measured.
Subcutaneous (SC) injection applications are the process of administering the drug to the loose connective tissue under the skin and is one of the most frequently applied parenteral drug administration methods among nursing practices. SC injections, which are frequently performed by nurses, often result in complications such as hematoma, ecchymosis and pain at the injection site. Although the field of healthcare is developing day by day, injection applications can still be painful and uncomfortable. These procedures increase the individual's stress levels before the procedure, causing them to experience fear and anxiety and reducing patient satisfaction. This may cause the application to fail or be repeated. Many nonpharmacological methods are applied to prevent or reduce these local side effects in subcutaneous injection applications. Cold application is accepted as an effective and easy-to-use method for SC injection. Cold application may also constrict peripheral blood vessels, reducing blood flow to the tissue and thus preventing ecchymosis. When the national and international literature is examined, there are studies using cold application to reduce pain and ecchymosis due to SC injection in adults. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cold injection, which is considered an alternative to cold therapy, in reducing pain and ecchymosis due to SC injection application. No study has been found in the literature evaluating the effectiveness of cold injection in preventing pain and ecchymosis due to SC injection application. Therefore, it is thought that this study will make a significant contribution to the literature and create a simple, comfortable and cost-free innovation. Preparation and use of cold injection is simple, easy and comfortable. It is anticipated that patients will be able to easily follow the procedure steps during the procedure. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of the cooled needle on the development of pain and ecchymosis in SC injection application in adults.
Rhinoplasty surgery is being performed in increasing numbers in our country and around the world. After rhinoplasty surgery, patients experience swelling and bruising (ecchymosis) in their eyes. Many methods have been used to reduce this edema and bruising. Some of these methods are surgical techniques, medications, and supportive treatments used during and after surgery. (cortisol, vitamins, ice applications, etc.) When the literature is examined, there is currently no consensus on methods that reduce swelling and bruising. Again, in meta-analysis studies, there is no prominent or definitive method for reducing bruising and swelling. In our clinical observations, it has been observed that edema and bruising are significantly less common in tourists coming to our country from abroad. The idea that the reason for this may be that tourists walk a lot when they come to Istanbul, they want to travel a lot and see new places, has emerged as a hypothesis in our minds. The relationship between the number of steps taken during the day and postoperative edema-ecchymosis has not been examined before in the literature. In this respect, we think that our study will contribute to the literature.
Study to analyze whether there is a difference in postoperative outcome regarding edema, ecchymosis, pain, OSI and discomfort of the patients after blepharoplasty if a compression dressing is used or not.
This study will be a prospective randomized study to evaluate the effect of tranexamic acid (TXA) use on intraoperative and postoperative outcomes among patients undergoing rhinoplasty by two Facial Plastic surgeons at Vanderbilt. Outcomes will include intra- and post-operative bleeding and postoperative bruising and swelling.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of different bed head heights (thirty degrees and forty-five degrees) given to patients after rhinoplasty surgery on periorbital edema, periorbital ecchymosis, respiratory function and sleep quality.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the most common cardiovascular system disease. According to the World Health Organization data, CAD ranks first among the top 10 causes of death. According to the 2014 data of the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK), deaths due to circulatory system diseases are in the first place with 40.4%, and 39.6% of this is ischemic heart diseases. The prevalence of CAD in Turkey is 12% in women and 14% in men. The diagnosis of CAD is largely made on non-invasive tests. Coronary angiography (CAG) is recommended for definitive diagnosis and detection of coronary stenosis. CAG is defined as the manual delivery of contrast material through a catheter sent to the coronary arteries under fluoroscopy and recording the resulting image on a CD. With special catheters advanced through a plastic sheath called a sheath placed in the access tract, contrast agents are administered separately to the left main coronary (LDA) and right main coronary arteries (RCA), and images of the coronary arteries are taken in multiple positions. Complications related to diagnostic and therapeutic CAG are rare, but vary according to the patient's condition, operator's experience, and the type of procedure. The most common vascular complications are bleeding, hematoma, ecchymosis, pseudoaneurysm, retroperitoneal hemorrhage, arteriovenous fistula. Preventing complications before they develop is actually shown as the most successful treatment. For this reason, it is recommended to use a small-diameter catheter during CAG, to enter the main femoral artery carefully, to interrupt anticoagulant treatment before the procedure, to apply manual compression to the area for at least 20 minutes after the procedure, and to use percutaneous closure devices, which is another method. After the procedure, pressure is applied with a sandbag, manual compression, and a pneumatic compression device. In the sandbag method, a 3-4.5 kg sandbag is placed after the bleeding is controlled by manual pressure on the femoral region where the intervention is made. During this period, the patient's movements are restricted and he is asked to lie flat on his back. In the use of the pneumatic compression device, a pneumatic compression device (closepad) with a transparent window and balloon incision is placed to maintain the compression on the femoral artery after a short period of manual compression. However, it is not preferred because of the risk of embolism and high cost. In addition to pressure applications, local cold application is effective in preventing perivascular complications. Cold application controls bleeding by reducing capillary blood flow and capillary permeability by vasoconstriction of arterioles. In addition, it reduces the flow rate of the blood and increases its viscosity, thereby making it coagulate. It controls bleeding by blood coagulation, reduced capillary permeability and metabolic requirements. This situation reduces the development of ecchymosis and hematoma. Considering this information, cold application can be preferred for the prevention of hematoma and ecchymosis, which are the most common complications after CAG, because it is practical, inexpensive and comfort-enhancing. The number of studies in the literature in which cold application and pressure application are used together is limited. Based on this information, the current study was planned to evaluate the effectiveness of cold pressure application for the prevention of hematoma and ecchymosis in the CAG intervention area. The hypotheses of the research; H0: Cold pressure application has no effect on the prevention of hematoma and ecchymosis in the CAG intervention area. H1: Cold pressure application has an effect on the prevention of hematoma and ecchymosis in the CAG intervention area.
This study is looking at the effect of Tisseel in eyelid surgery. Fibrin sealants (Tisseel) cause there to be less bleeding during surgery. Surgeons have used Tisseel for over two decades to reduce bruising. Ophthalmologists use it during surgery. Yet, there are no studies confirming the effect of Tisseel during eyelid surgery. Unpublished work suggests that it is effective in decreasing postoperative bruising. This study will confirm the effect of Tisseel on postoperative bruising in blepharoplasty.
The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of topical Tranexamic acid application in overcoming periorbital ecchymosis and edema after rhinoplasty, which are common and do not have a standard treatment.
